Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 708

Lydia frowned. Seriously, someone else trying to start drama? “It’s a girl,” Iceblade said, “but not from your class.”

Lydia took a step back and glanced over her shoulder. Whoever had been lurking in the shadows had already disappeared.

Iceblade let out a laugh. “She sure knows how to run.”

Lydia looked indifferent. The whole school forum was already obsessed with rumors about her and Jay, the instructor. So, that person from earlier was probably the one stirring the pot behind the scenes. She was determined to find out who was causing trouble.

Meanwhile, a sleek black Mercedes pulled up in front of the girls’ dorm. Connor stepped out, holding a bouquet of bright red roses. The trunk was open, filled with gifts. He tried to keep his excitement in check as he pulled out his phone and called Lydia. He had lost count of how many late nights he’d worked just to finish early and come back to see her.

Finally, just a few seconds more and he’d get to see the girl he’d been missing so much.

The phone rang only twice before Lydia answered, her voice cool and clear. “Done with work?”

Connor’s smile grew, but before he could say anything, he heard a guy’s voice on Lydia’s end. “I’m heading back now.”

Connor’s expression darkened. Was that Jay?

Lydia glanced at Iceblade standing next to her and really wanted to smack him. “Leave,” she said coldly.

Iceblade just grinned. “See you tomorrow.”

Lydia rolled her eyes. Typical.
